See you soon on the great water!

Ahoy, matey!

Ye be wantin to know more about the Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles demo that is joinin the Pirates & Ninjas Fest on Steam, eh? Well, shiver me timbers, Ive got some news for ye.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is a game that lets ye build yer own pirate fortress in a vast and fantastical ocean world. Ye can explore the cliffs and waters, scavenge resources, trade with other factions, and wage war upon yer enemies. Ye can also fly yer own airship or giant warbird and engage in aerial combat with other ships. Its a game of freedom and expression, where ye can create anything ye can imagine.

But thats not all. The demo has been updated with some new features and improvements that make it even more fun and exciting. Here are some of them:

• A political system that monitors which refugees ye bring into yer settlement and how they affect the balance of factions in yer settlement.
  
• A dominant faction that in turn will allow more advanced captains and commanders of that faction to join ye.
  
• Enroll aggressive Faction Leaders that unlock even more new building options and vehicles as well as inciting raids and combat encounters.
  
• The introduction of new captains and combat captains with their own set of perks.
  
• A campaign option to skip the tutorial and dive right into the action (for hardcore players).
  
• New random events and encounters (Including Pirate Skullship Captains!).
  
• An increased range for buildings to snap, allowing for larger sprawling constructions.

We, as publisher Wired Productions, are excited, with award-winning, solo developer, Tomas Sala, to reveal that the highly anticipated Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles will be arriving on PC, Xbox Series One and X|S and PlayStation 4 and 5 on March 26, 2024! In addition, a multiplatform demo across the same platforms will be available from January 30 giving console players their first chance to see the game in action!

In the demo, you will be able to play with one complete scenario designed to show the ropes of Bulwark. Your settlements can grow to up to 15 buildings, while later-stage gameplay elements such as Wonder, Leaders and a variety of factions, will only be available at launch.

Our friends at Rogue Sun have today launched Tin Hearts on Steam.

Step by step,
Heart to heart,
Left, right, left,
We all fall down.
Like toy soldiers.

To celebrate the launch of Tin Hearts, which last week saw an animated prequel story narrated by legend Stephen Fry, Artists Aisha Vaughan and Kieron Pepper collaborated with Black Razor Records, the indie music label founded by Wired Productions, to create a cover of iconic and classic Toy Soldiers by Martika. The devastating beautiful track perfectly encapsulates the emotion of Tin Hearts, winner of the Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Game accolade during Gamescom 2022.

Watch below:
[previewyoutube=ibPbMnitqlk;full][/previewyoutube]

Behind every brilliant invention, hides a magical story. Guide a troop of tin soldiers through a magical toy-filled world, in this immersive narrative puzzle adventure game from members of the team that brought you Fable.

March through 40+ levels of time-bending, soldier-routing riddles, using a variety of whimsical and inventive contraptions to bounce, shoot and glide them to their goal. Forge new paths for your toys to follow, and solve increasingly elaborate puzzles to unravel the emotional, thought-provoking story of love, loss and compromise centred around the family of Albert J. Butterworth, a genius inventor of Victorian times.

Tin Hearts is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, and the Xbox family of consoles.

PCVR, Meta Quest 2 and PSVR2 are set to be released later this year.

Ivar & The Horde released the anti-war song Broken Walls, dedicated to raising money for the children affected by the War In Ukraine.

Leading on from the success of the Single, which amassed a total of 100,000 listeners, the brand-new Broken Walls Future Funk Squad Remix video is an opportunity for us to kickstart the GoFundMe campaign and to get us all to dig deep and contribute to the charity WarChild.

TURN THIS UP LOUD and watch the 'Future Funk Squad Remix' below:

[previewyoutube=I-QID5yUIfk;full]YOUTUBE LINK[/previewyoutube]

Released on Black Razor Records. Broken Walls is the latest release from alternative rock/rap artists, Ivar & The Horde (Stu Brootal & Kieron Pepper), and draws inspiration from the war-themed arcade twin-stick shooter Tiny Troopers: Global Ops which launched on 9th March.

The game highlights a series of military megalomaniacs from around the world, and their greed-filled desire to cause conflict and chaos.

Every contribution on the GoFundMe will receive a download code for:

Ivar & The Horde - Broken Walls
Ivar & The Horde - Broken Walls (Future Funk Squad Remix)

All proceeds from the song on Bandcamp and the GoFundMe will be donated to War Child.

Please give as much as you can, because 1 in every 6 children in the world are affected by armed conflict and we can make a difference. If you can't support financially. Please, share the message and get it seen by as many people as possible.

If you would like to know more about the charity. Visit them here: WarChild.

Thank you.

Hey people,

Lots of work went into improving the game based on the previous round of feedback and your input will be as foundational for the rest of development, so enjoy the demo and be heard. Jump on our Bulwark Discord.

I got the chance to show off some of the demo during the Mix showcase. Check it out below.

The Falconeer is in the Steam Spring Sale. 65% off is a great deal.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135260/The_Falconeer/

Two issues have fixes in this patch.
-the recent title screen hangs should be ok now. or not lead to a block
-mouse control in the menus could hang for no reasons, should be fixed

You might or might not know, but the Falconeer has a follow up. But not an air combat game but a base building game. It allows you to start a new settlement on the Ursee after the 'War of the Tree' you experienced the beginning of in the Falconeer.

It's a unique freeform 3D builder that's as much about designing a unique fortress as it will be about interacting with the people and factions of the Ursee.

Here's the trailer
[previewyoutube=gBWX5v4StP0;full][/previewyoutube]


And now it has a free demo to try. This is a pre-alpha demo intented to gather feedback and serves as something of a first user test. But I've been running updates for a few days now and I think it's at a good point more people can try it so go ahead here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/290100/Bulwark_Falconeer_Chronicles/

In certain cases the title screen could hang while attempting to load files, added preventions.

updated the input system to 1.4.4. (unity latest) in hopes of preventing reported issues
-changed some buttonUp code to make sure menu interactions only occur on button release (preventing button bashing weirdness)
-fixed PC HDR support to be working
-turned on hardware tessellation on the portraits

removed a sneaky debug log that could drain a lot of performance, might be smoother now
-per request moved the minimap forward an up a bit
-prevented some freezup potentials, (blind guessing for a reported issue, let's pray)

When the rubber hits the road, there's bound to be issues. I hope this patch fixes the two reported issues. Here's the breakdown. (this only affects the VR binary)

• A cheat keycombo was enabled (oops), has now been disabled to prevent random behavior
  
• Legacy mousebutton inputs have been removed to prevent random input weirdness
  
• Changes to input methods to prevent conflicts with other VR controllers (I hope this prevents the reported Issues but seems to work locally)
  
• Some of the map UX was invisble or out of VR view, now fixed
  
• Removed legacy screenfade FX that might cause grey screen flickers.
  
• added fixedUpdate call for the targeting reticules , changed execution order of said targeting reticules, to add a tiny bit more stability to them and reduce jitter. Partially successful, but my Index is very worn and old so its sensors are jittery all over, hard to verify the issue for me.

The build runs at max settings on Native Steam Deck resolution, as seen in the video here:

When it runs on a #steamdeck you also get specific UX optimizations for smaller screens!

But it is a fully native Linux Build that is already available right now. As you might have noticed Linux +SteamOs is now supported by the game. That means you get to enjoy The Falconeer at the smoothest possible performance on your linux devices.

Enjoy,

Hi everyone.

Youll probably have noticed its Steam Awards season again! And that means you all get to decide which games deserve a bit of spotlight.

Now the Falconeer is eligible for the Labor of Love category, and that strangely pulls at me. And in today's marketplace every opportunity can be vital, and for instance just getting nominated will shine a big spotlight on The Falconeer. So Ive got to try and ask you for your nomination.

So! Let me make my case that The Falconeer is deserving and hopefully that will convince you to make the Falconeer your selection for Labor of Love.

And if its nominated or not, at the very least it's a good opportunity for a retrospective look at a year of Falconeer updates!! So here goes!



It has been just over a year now since launch (already?!) and whilst many would think that getting a game developed over the incredibly challenging state of things that 2020 left us, the hard work that came AFTER has been just as intensive and thankfully, rewarding.

Over the course of development we had an eager (Flock? Squadron? Flurry?) of Falconeers in Discord that had been eagerly following development news, and from the moment an early Beta build was made available for them to try, I was overwhelmed with both the volume and the passion shown by the community with regards to changes, fixes, suggestions and wishes that were put forward by the early bird players - and whilst many suggestions did find themselves into the version of the game that launched, several things were put on a list ready to tackle post launch and develop into bigger things.



Balancing this feedback from the community that by now also included everyone who bought and played the game on Steam and talked with me in the forums (thank you!) as well as some of the critiques from reviews and of course my own personal visions and plans for The Falconeer became an intensive task that has not stopped since launch, with the aim of continuing to build upon the foundations I laid a year ago, and to make The Great Ursee a world that continues to provide mysteries to explore, lore to ponder upon, and most importantly entice you all to saddle up and take to the skies over and over again.

The Falconeer has received literally many dozens of updates over the last year. This includes bug fixes and improvements. The improvements included (just to name a few of many) three separate M+KB modes, difficulty rebalancing, gamma sliders, mouse sensitivity sliders,new ships, enemies and sea monsters, visual improvements such as floodlights on turrets and best of all guided rockets that changed up the core combat. The patch notes in total would run many many pages long.



But I also always envisioned a game that would have a lot more to do than what was available at launch (besides the 10 hour campaign). And so there were free content updates that added completely new mechanics, missions and stories to the game. The biggest two of these free updates were The Kraken and Atuns Folly. The Kraken added wreck diving and exploration missions to the game through several new locations and Atuns Folley released earlier this year added pirate/criminal gameplay mechanics and a mini pirate campaign, as well as introducing legendary aces and their unique mounts to the game.

Both of those updates fleshed out the core gameplay with more diversity and things to do, and completed it to the level I always imagined it should have.


Once the core improvements for the game were released I had time to add two pieces of DLC, the first the hunter was a small addition of flyable drakes in the shape of the Mongres Hunter class, a fairly small DLC intended as a testbed for the bigger DLC Edge of The World which was released a few months ago in august. This added multiple new classes/creatures, new weapons, new locations and best of all 3 end-boss/set piece focused mini campaigns that fleshed out some of the more esoteric lore in the game.



All in all the game that you find on Steam now is an entirely different beast than the one that launched roughly a year ago, and the continued work that Ive put into it has been in no small part to the love, passion and support from both the Steam and Discord communities who also fell in love with The Great Ursee, and whose feedback and desire helped to fuel this constant development and iteration on the game - for this you all have my thanks!
Ive been elated by the response so far to the game, and love it or hate it The Falconeer has blazed a trail for new Indie air combat games, something that fills me with a lot of joy.

So in closing, Im really proud of the work Ive been able to do to improve and expand the game, and Ive loved reading peoples reactions here on Steam, good or bad. Ive learned from them and improved the game based on your responses. And Id love to have your nomination for the Steam Award for labor of love

Enjoy the Steam sale, go take a chance on some other indie games and VOTE and REVIEW for games youve played and enjoyed, trust me it makes a world of difference to developers! Thank you!

Today marks quite a special anniversary for myself, its a year to the day that Wired Productions published my game The Falconeer to Xbox and PC, on November 10th 2020.

Now that date might ring familiar for many gamers, as it also was the launch of the Xbox Series X/S and a whole new generation of consoles, and The Falconeer had the honour of being one of the launch titles for the new generation. This was massive for me. My little indie game bringing in the dawn of a new gaming era.



When I look back now there are lots of memories, many good and some not as good, that will forever be associated with that period in time for me. It was certainly a challenging time with the stress of release but mostly due to the onset of the winter lockdown of 2020 and Covid19, not to mention me recovering from Covid myself just a few weeks ahead of launch. And this all coming after a year bereft of shows and any real life interactions with gamers! How I missed that. I think it's easy to underestimate what impact just watching a gamer play your game can have. Not just in learning and feedback but also in the confidence and motivation it can inspire for the creator.
Hopefully in 2022 we will see events get back to their pre-pandemic days and we can meet up and perhaps share a beer!

But I think that unique set of circumstances actually allowed for something quite amazing, a game that took flight over the course of a year. In any other year Id dare say the release of this game would have been easier, but it wasnt any other year and 2020 and 2021 have pushed myself, Benedict Nichols (the games composer), the crew at Wired Productions and more, to fully realise a vision of the Falconeer. It has been incredibly tough, but worth every moment.

And if you are a fan of the Falconeer you have reaped the benefit with a game that has grown in content and expanded into its current form, which is now available on a staggering number of platforms:
Xbox to Microsoft GamePass,
Steam
Epic Game store
GOG
PlayStation,
Nintendo Switch
Amazon Luna
Google Stadia

Phew, we have been busy! The Falconeer is a flight you can now take on any serious gaming platform. We have more platforms than Kings cross Station!



Over the year it's become evident to me that The Falconeer has left its mark on a genre that has all but been extinct up until now, with an idiosyncratic and esoteric game that was lauded with numerous awards including a prestigious BAFTA nomination (as the team at Wired have wisely let you know about at every opportunity!). Personally, Im incredibly proud of the very positive Steam reviews (currently at 82% recommended and still rising) and the very positive reception on Nintendo Switch with a Metacritic rating of 80/100, taking it to the top 25 of best released Switch games this quarter. Its 60fps handheld mode is a testament to the dedication of both myself and Stefan Wijnker (responsible for porting the game) to responsive high fps gaming.



The game has also grown exponentially in content and diversity. Ive worked furiously to keep the community satisfied; (I hope!), with a string of free content updates which included adding wreck diving and exploration missions, flyable drakes, guided rockets, pirate mechanics and pirate missions and eventually a fully-fledged DLC Edge of the World that added 3 mini campaigns, new weapons and mounts to the game. It may be one year old, but the Falconeer evolved way more than that.

I wonder if all of that would have happened the way it did if the world had been in a different place over the last 12 months?



Im grateful for the collaborations and friendships Ive been a part of, especially the talented Benedict Nichols who created a unique score for the game. And we all get to celebrate this anniversary as it coincides with the pre-orders of the Double Vinyl OST of the game going live, another brilliant milestone, and a truly epic addition to any record collection! Go buy it here

But most of all, I am incredibly grateful to the players whove played the game and have let me know over the past year how much they did, and those that still participate to form the wonderful community of Falconeers. My heart is warmed by their energy, creativity and passion for the game. I read every comment and every day I am surprised by the sheer out pouring of love for it. This made all the blood, sweat and tears worthwhile.

As for the upcoming year, the story of the Falconeer is far from over. Ive already spoken to the community about the building/RTS spinoff of the game that will be my next focus. And theres also a big box with a VR kit in my studio waiting for me to see if the Falconeer can be VR!?. So, theres plenty to look forward to this anniversary!

Thank you once again.

Viva le Falconeer!

Tomas Sala Creator of The Falconeer

reverted build due undetermined launch crash

The previously targeted enemy when dispatched for whatever reason also provides XP to the player
-Change death sequence so xp sequences is always calculated

Tomas Sala, a one man developer, true talisman and industry warrior, became a beacon for just what is possible in indie development when he created and launched BAFTA nominated The Falconeer - a project that Tomas poured every ounce of soul, passion and creativity into. Core to the game experience was the emotional use of music, and this vinyl release is a celebration of the enjoyment and expression unleashed from the soundtrack and all the talented people involved.

Award-winning composer Benedict Nichols brings together an eclectic cathedral of a soundtrack that summons the dual nature of The Falconeer; nuanced, but yet dynamic! Steeped in a sense of nature, the score is layered with the beautiful and frenetic, the soundtrack invokes both the transcendental waters and high-energy of aerial combat by using everything from Mongolian throat-singing to razor-edge synthesis, organs, and Balkan choirs.

[previewyoutube=QitPjye5bZ8;full][/previewyoutube]

Tomas and Benedict sat down together as they painstakingly handpicked the tracks that made it onto this stunning double LP, with a majestic sea azure blue and a sea green variant being chosen for the colours of the vinyl pressings. To contrast this, the team turned to illustrator Haley Wakefield, who, inspired by the themes, mood and visuals of the release, crafted a stunning and exclusive piece of art, lovingly housed in a gatefold sleeve.

The cover artwork has been created by Haley Bbanditt Wakefield.



For any audio fan of gaming soundtracks, film scores and beyond, these details make it a must have to own and limited to just 500 pressings in azure blue and 500 in Sea green. its a treasure you will need to act swiftly to secure.

Azure blue on the Wired Store


Green vinyl on the LRG store.


The pre-order window will close December 31st. This item will start manufacturing at the end of the window and is expected to ship up to four months after this date. Final vinyl colour may vary slightly.

The warbirds of The Falconeer will be stretching their wings on Google Stadia!

Featuring all of the content released in free updates and paid expansions - the definitive version of the The Falconeer will be arriving on October 5th for the very first time with the Warrior Edition!



For more information about the Falconeer on Stadia, as well as a fascinating interview with Tomas Sala - head on over to the Google Stadia community blog site to read it, and then keep your eyes on the cloud (service) for details on pricing and an official trailer taking to the skies soon!

Hello Falconeers!

Today is the launch of The Edge Of The World (as you may have heard!) Which is OBVIOUSLY worthy of LOTS of celebration!

It's the Edge Of The World as we know it!

The biggest expansion EVER to The Falconeer is out RIGHT NOW!

Edge of the World features three brand new mini campaigns accompanied by nine new missions. Visit the exotic Mongress Mawsprings, exclusive to Edge of the World, discover ancient installations and uncover the fate of expeditions thought lost long ago, or assist an eccentric client to recover an ancient relic, while combating a deep and archaic evil.





The Edge of the World expansion also reveals two exclusive Legendary Ace classes and mounts. Ascend as the Arbiter who flies on the back of a Fenix, or soar over the Great Ursee as a Corsair aboard a prehistoric Pteron. Take to the skies and unleash the Imperial Shocklance, an electric weapon with the ability to eliminate multiple enemies at once.

Edge of the World also sees an increase of the level cap from 20 to 24 through the various ancient items that can be discovered throughout the Great Ursee.



Take a birds eye at this EPIC sea shanty written and sung by Mikee Goodman (SixTh, Disco Elysium), and features violin from Abi Fry (Bat For Lashes, British Sea Power). This Ode To Captain Sala is a celebration of what can be achieved when you believe in your vision, just like Tomas Sala did with The Falconeer.
